    Web Design review wanted

    Just designed my site; I dropped my old website with my website
    designs, etc. Since I'm not really much into that at the comment I
    got another domain for just my photography stuff. Wanted something
    simple. The gallery still isn't working (trying to fix that now). Looking
    for some reviews on the design. Thanks all

      Thanks Andrew! Thinking of two changes; one, I need another landscape photo
      to use, but with it framed in portrait mode so its more vertial then horizontal.
      Other wise, as seen, it doesn't look all THAT good. Also going to most likely
      change the 'People Photography' picture to another one of my friend Christina.

      Gallery is now up and running, by the way. It should be fully populated with my
      PhotoBucket.com pics by 2pm tomorrow. Just a pain uploading them...

        I like it ... it combines being very "simple" (meant in the most positive way) with some nice CSS rollover tricks. Does that work in all browsers? I didn't try it with IE, but it looks great in Firefox.

          I checked it in IE while I was messing with the idea. Haven't checked since I finished.
          Plan to check it in a moment... I'm just adding a simple bit of code to the gallery now.
          Then will upload photos. Will be select photos for now until I can add sub-categories...

            Looks good in Firefox and Opera on Linux.

            Don't forget ...

              Photos on title page shoul dnot be shadowed. They should be normaly visible. you may use shadow for iamge mouse is over it, but I would suggest to change image border.

              Captions below photograhs on title page, which sugest options are not even links. They should be.

              You haven't done any SEO, pages do not contain even minimum neccessary data for proper search engine indexing.

              It seems you disabled right click popup menu. do not do that. Nowadays only kids think that it is any kind of protection, and you disable important part of browser functionality. That would just upsed your visitors, and won't protect nothing.

              Using flash to show popup with photograph is no-no. You get no functionality with that (the same functionality thing may be done with usual HTML).

                Nice photos!

                Those are obviously Florida, and I recognize St. Augustine. Do you live there?

                  That's my point as well. Completely agreed.

                  Other than that it looks good to me.

                    I don't live in St. Augustine, no. I live in the centeral FL area.
                    I haven't setup SEO, email form, or bio page yet.
                    Why would no-right click upset someone if their not going to save a image?
                    I've not seen any of my non-technical friends EVER use right click except to save
                    a image. How else might I prevent them from saving it?

                    Also its not a flash pop up. Its Javascript ~ Lightbox JS.

                      Disabling the right click is incredibly annoying and will not stop people from saving images if that is what they want to do.

                        Any alternative suggestions? I've disabled hot linking, etc.
                        I realize people could still go to 'View Source' from the view menu
                        and then copy direct URLs then just copy that into the URL bar, etc.

                        Oh well. Working on making it so that the image opacity (for front page)
                        loads via JavaScript. That way, people with disabled JS will see full images.
                        Still need to finish the email script, bio, etc. Ya, I'm lazy LOL.

                        Actually dealing with laptop issues right now (only PC I have), as well
                        as working on some images. Oh well. I have most of tomorrow and all of
                        Wednesday to work on it. Then again, they just ejected another person
                        at work (down-graded from office, actually). So that means back to 6 days a week scheduling.

                          I think the only real solution is to watermark your images - of course this makes your images less attractive...

                            If you do not want anyone to steal photos, then do not show them. If one can open your page and see thephoto he already has it on his computer. You cannot stop him having a picture if you let him see it.

                              Yeah, dat's true, I wonder why no one ever thinks about the magical "PrtScn" key, present on every keyboard in the right upper corner It's an incredibly straightforward way to capture images from websites
